1. John Legend, “Green Light.” The Sound Opinions guys hit the bullseye on this one, and their assessment is an unfortunate one: John Legend seemed poised to be the great hope for modern soul, and yet he seems to be drifting away on his inappropriately titled new disc, Evolver. It’s pleasant enough, but Legend has lost his edge and is making by-the-numbers lurve man music.
2. Camille, “Ta Douleur.”
3. Modest Mouse, “Other People’s Lives.”
4. Neutral Milk Hotel, “Ghost.”
5. Original Cast, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, “Midnight Radio.” A truly perfect power ballad/showtune, and that might be the first time I’ve written that in my life.
